This year’s theme, “Spring Training,” focuses on preparing participants in the areas of production, quality, safety, sales and marketing, and engineering design.
2012 ACPA Pipe School events include:
• Tours of nearby Rinker and Hanson plants, featuring demos on proper RCP crack evaluation and post-installation inspection with laser video profiling;
• A panel discussion with DOT officials centered on key decision criteria such as quality, durability, cost and installation;
• Interactive sessions on continuous process improvement; and
• A team-building reception at the World Bowling Center.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to become QCast accredited by attending the Quality School track and passing the exam at the end of the course.
